Social Welfare (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-28
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I am sorry if I did not answer that part of the question; I thought I had. My Department will work with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to determine how much of the public expenditure incurred to date should be properly charged to the Social Insurance Fund given that many people who have been in receipt of the pandemic unemployment payment had an underlying entitlement to jobseeker's benefit. I understand what the Deputy is saying about the fund. As I have said, this measure will relate to that part.
